9 Responses to Arkansas woman’s weight gets her denied service at nail salon

I understand amusement rides (that’s obviously for safety) and airplane
seats (I mean, if you take up two seats, pay for two seats!) – but at a
nail salon? that’s just crazy! those chairs are huge and can fit a NFL
linebacker! I don’t know if they really embarrassed her as much is it looks
in the video. it seems like she was coming back and hassling them, after
being told the first time. they may have told her about the policy
discreetly at first. either way, it’sa dumb ass policy.

OK, I have some input here. I agree, they should get accommodations for
“larger” women (or men, to be p.c.). HOWEVER! The salon here does not have
a “big people” chair, so they told this woman they could not service her.
If I were the manager, I would possibly have seen if her pedicure could be
done from a bench placed there for her? Those pedicure chairs they had in
this video DID NOT LOOK LIKE THEY COULD SUPPORT HER HEFT! Sad for her,
sad for the owners. OK, now for my experience…

OK, I have an overweight friend. VERY overweight. I also have an
above-ground pool. My overweight friend kept hinting she wanted to swim in
or pool, but the ladder has a weight limit. Plus, it has been in the sun
for awhile, so the weight limit has probably decreased… Anyways, I’d
change the subject or whatever. Finally she outright asked if she could
come over and swim, and I had to tell her. It sucked for both of us, it
was embarrassing, but what could I do? Our pool was EXPENSIVE!

So, instead I offered to bring her as a guest to my local YMCA to go
swimming together. She never took me up on the offer, but I don’t blame
her. Also, maybe this salon does only want to cater to slimmer women. I
don’t think this is the case here. I truly believe there is a weight limit
on those chairs, and they have the right to refuse service to ANYONE.
There’s my input. -Beezy
